Derrick’s parents are finalizing a budget for his college expenses. his first year of college will cost $8,000, and his expenses will increase by 12% each year. what is the amount they should budget for derrick’s four-year college education, to the nearest dollar? $38,235 is needed. $42,823 is needed. $32,072 is needed. $39,200 is needed.

1st year = 8000

2nd year = 8000 * 1.12 = 8960

3rd year = 8960*1.12 = 10035.20

4th year = 10035.20 * 1.12 = 11239.42

8000 + 8960 + 10035.20 + 11239.42 = 38234.62 round to $38,235

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d
